Coffee Frozen Yogurt

Homemade ice cream is clearly amazing, and simply unmatched by even the best small batch commercial brands. It's certainly difficult to compare apples to oranges, and even more so a fantastic chocolate ice cream to a frozen yogurt made with fresh, local peaches. In the end, however, one "ice cream" beckons me more than any other.

Like many of my favorite frozen dairy recipes, this one originates with David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop. This frozen yogurt has an added benefit, using only six ingredients.

This apple cobbler recipe from the Frugal Gourmet (Jeff Smith) series has always been my "go to" dessert when autumn weather makes me hungry for that great baked apple and raisin taste. The ingredient list includes items common in most kitchens and the recipe is comprised of four easy steps. This is great served with homemade whipped cream, yogurt or creme fraiche, my choice the last time I served it.

Sadly, Jeff Smith's cookbooks are not currently available new, but a pdf download of the recipe is available by clicking here.

Racines Chocolate Cake

Having spent a lot of time making and enjoying David Lebovitz’s ice cream recipes in The Perfect Scoop, his Ready for Dessert quickly hit my wish list on my Amazon account. After acquiring it, the wonderful photo and ingredient list of the Racines Cake made it the obvious choice for a first recipe.

My youngest daughter, Hannah, and I both prefer icings that are not too sweet. One of the things that drew me to this recipe was the lack of any frosting; the emphasis was purely on chocolate.

Until I thumbed through David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop to see what I could find for pears in the ice cream realm, I had forgotten about this surprising, excellent recipe. I think of pears having a subtle flavor that might not speak well in a dairy dessert, but this combination is quite nice.

3-4 pears, peeled, cored and diced
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of sugar
2 cups of heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon of coarse salt
a few drops of lemon juice

The sugar is cooked over medium heat, constantly stirring gently until the sugar turns to an amber color.

Raspberry Buttermilk Cake

The combination of late-summer red raspberries from the local market and this recipe that needs only standard ingredients (already in the house) led me to give this great looking cake a go. The texture is quite moist, the flavor and visual appeal is excellent and it's quite easy to make, so we'll be eating this again, I'm sure.

The recipe is available on the Smitten Kitchen web site, based upon an item in a a previous Gourmet magazine.

Served with homemade crème fraiche, which was a great match.
